JOSEPH MARION, OF'BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND JOSEPH CALVERLEY, OF SAME PLAGE, AND BENEDIOT FISCHER AND JAMES SUSMAN VALK, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

HYDROCARBON-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 330,599, dated November 17, 1885.

Application iiled April 30, 1885. Serial No. 163,965. (No model.) Y

To all whom, t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH MARION, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Hydrocarbon-Burner, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this speoication, in which similar letters of reference indicate cor- 1o responding parts in all the figures.

Figure lis a sectional elevation of a stationary steam-boiler and arch having my new hyd'rocarbon-burner applied for heating the same. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the burner; and Fig.

r 5 3 is a sectional elevation of the same, taken on the line x of Fig. 2.

'Ihe invention will iirst be described in connection with the drawings, and then pointed out in the claims.

Although I have shown my new and improved hydrocarbon-burner A placed in the arch B upon grate-bars B for heating boiler C, it is applicable for use in various other situations. The hydrocarbon is supplied from elevated 2 5 tank D through pipe E to a shallow' receiver,

F, of which a represents the bottom and a the side walls or anges. This receiver F is formed with numerous air-passages, b, that reach above the bottom of the receiver, so that the air to 3o support combustion is supplied from below the receiver. Over the upper ends of the air-passages b are placed the caps c, that surround and inclose the main upper portion of the passages or nipples b, and the upper walls of the caps c are held above the upper ends of the nipples b by the blocks c c", to form a horizontal passage or chamber, 0"", between the upper end of each nipple b and the top inner wall of its cap c, and the caps c are larger than 4o the nipples, so they form side vertical passages, c2 c3, between the outer surfaces of the nipples b and the inner side walls of the caps. In this manner the air from the nipples b enters chambers c', and is confined there in contact with the heated caps, and finds its way down side passages, c3, along the heated side walls of the caps, so that the heated air is not only deflected downward to or nearly to the surface of the hydrocarbon in the receiver F,

but is highly heated from contact with the caps, so that in combining with the combustible gases causes the generation of a very high degree of heat, which consumes the smoke and prevents entirely the formation of lampblack or soot. Upon the bottom a, around the air-passages b, is placed a layer of asbestus fiber, d, Fig. 3, to serve as a kind of wicking to receive the hydrocarbon; but this may be dispensed with, if desired. Beneath the receiver F is fitted the water-box G, to which water is supplied through the pipe H for cooling the bottom of the receiver F and heating the water. The water-box G has passages b formed through it to correspond with the passages b, so that when the receiver and box are put together the passages b b coincide and form continuous air-passages. In the arrangement shown. in this instance'thefwater from water-box G passes to the boiler C through the pipe I, so that the heat taken up by the water in passing through the box G is saved. 'Io increase the intensity of the heat and prevent the formation of lamp-black, I supply jets of steam over the receiver F-in this instance from boiler O-through pipe J and perforated cross-pipe K, held over the receiver, as shown clearly in Figs. 1 and 3.

In operation, hydrocarbon oil being supplied to the receiver F and ignited, the combustion will take place at the surface of the oil, just below the lower edge of the caps c, to which point the air entering the passages b b will be directed by the said caps c. Ihe heat from the burning oil will create a strong draft through the passages b b', and will keep the caps c at an intense heat, so that the air coming in contact with them will become highly heated before reaching the burning oil, which greatly increases the combustion and heat produced and causes all smoke and lamp-black to be consumed. Steam from the boiler may be turned into pipes J K, if desired, which will issue in small jets' from pipe K just above caps c and unite with the iiame and greatly intensify the heat.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with the receiver F, H, substantially as and for` the purposes set having air-passages b, of the water-box G, havforth.

ing corresponding passages, b, substantially as described.

2. The Water-box G, fitted to the bottom of Vitnesses:

' the reeeiver F, and connected with the boiler C. SEDGWIGK,

C by pipe I, and with a Waitervsupply by a pipe, H. A. WEST.
